Mitch Albom Ordre des livres

Eleven-year-old Nico Crispi never told a lie. When the Nazi's invade his home in Salonika, Greece, the trustworthy boy is discovered by a German officer, who offers him a chance to save his family. All Nico has to do is convince his fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading towards "the east" where they are promised jobs and safety. Unaware that this is all a cruel ruse, the innocent boy goes to the station platform every day and reassures the passengers that the journey is safe. But when the final train is at the station, Nico sees his family being loaded into a large boxcar crowded with other neighbors. Only after it is too late does Nico discover that he helped send the people he loved--and all the others--to their doom at Auschwitz. Nico never tells the truth again.

Years later, when the empty life raft washes up on the island of Montserrat-- the events recounted in a notebook-- it falls to the island's chief inspector to solve the mystery of what really happened. -- adapted from jacket

Der neue NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER von Mitch Albom Chika Jeune, auf Haiti in das verheerende Erdbeben 2010 hineingeboren, wächst in dem Waisenhaus auf, das Mitch Albom dort gegründet hat. Mit ihrem unglaublich positiven, mutmachenden Wesen lässt sie niemanden unberührt. Im Alter von 5 Jahren wird bei ihr ein inoperabler Hirntumor festgestellt. Mitch und seine Frau Janine nehmen sie mit nach Detroit in der Hoffnung, Chika eines Tages geheilt zurück zu bringen. Auf ihrer Odyssee zu Spezialkliniken wird das Kind wie eine Tochter für das kinderlose Paar. Chikas grenzenloser Optimismus und unerschütterlicher Humor führen ihnen vor Augen, welches Glück ein so positives Wesen für das eigene Leben bedeutet. In berührenden Dialogen mit Chika gelingt Mitch Albom ein weiteres Meisterwerk. Der Abschied von Chika ist definitiv. Doch was bleibt, sind ihre Weisheit, ihre Liebe und ihr Trost und erlauben einen außergewöhnlichen Blick auf das Sterben – aus der Perspektive eines Kindes. »Ein berührendes Sinnen über die Magie der Kinder, über das, was Eltern für sie zu tun in der Lage sind, und über eine Familie, die sich ganz unvermutet und über Kontinente hinweg formte.« The Sun

Chika Jeune was born three days before the devastating earthquake that decimated Haiti in 2010. She spent her infancy in extreme poverty, and when her mother died giving birth to a baby brother, Chika was brought to the Have Faith Haiti Orphanage that Mitch and his wife, Janine operate. Chika's arrival made a quick impression. Brave and self-assured, even as a three-year-old, she delighted the other kids and teachers. But at age five, Chika was suddenly diagnosed with a terminal disease that no doctor in Haiti could help with. Mitch and Janine took Chika to America, hoping that treatment there would enable her to go back home. Instead, Chika became a permanent part of their lives, as they embarked on a two-year, around-the-world journey to find a cure. As Chika's boundless optimism and humour taught Mitch the joys of caring for a child, he learnt that a relationship built on love, no matter what blows it takes, can never be lost. This is Mitch Albom at his most poignant, powerful and personal. Chika is a celebration of a girl, her adoptive guardians, and the incredible bond they formed - a devastatingly beautiful portrait of what it means to be a family, regardless of how it is made.
